"Today, as I walk through the Professional and Experiential Education.
halls of the Harvard campus, I pass
by a picture of President Gearan
on the wall of the Kennedy School,
taken when he was participating in
a Harvard Institute of Politics event.
Every time I walk past it, it always
reminds me to keep going, and
that with hard work, determination,
and belief in yourself, that ’lives of
consequence’ thing isn’t so hard to
achieve."

"A life of consequence was a big
part of Mark’s vision. He wanted
to give students something to aspire
to. That made
him a very good
fundraiser because
he believed in
the Colleges and
was genuinely
interested in our
alumni, alumnae
and parents. Under
his leadership, we
doubled the endowment. He was active
in so many national and international
organizations, and that also increased the
Colleges’ reputation and recognition. His
legacy to me is 18 years of smooth sailing.
Every year, he made the Colleges better
than the year before – financially sound
and attracting outstanding students. And
every year he graduated a new group
of students who are pursuing that goal
to lead a life of consequence. I greatly
admire him for it."
